How to write javascript to div that self executes

My application is retrieving content from an XML file that has javascript in it. I am taking the javascript and placing it into my DOM, but the script is not executing.

How do I write javascript onto my page that will then execute?

My app goes something like this...

var javaScriptFromFile = getJS();
myDiv.innerHTML = javaScriptFromFile;
//Next, how do I execute the javascript? 
//Can I make the javascript in the innerHTML self executing?

You could eval the javascript. Or wrap in <script> tags before putting in the innerHTML.
